Just like every other country in the world, Japan has its own seasons and festivals which take place throughout the year. Visit JapanCorner's Festivals and Holidays page to read detailed descriptions and see photographs of 67 of the most popular.

The fact that Japan has four distinct seasons has greatly impacted the types of celebrations and the way they are celebrated. Among the most popular are New Years, the Cherry Blossom Festival and special childrens holidays although the holiday calendar is filled with many more.
